Just Come Home
Embracing the Turmoil: Just Come Home to Understanding
Lyrics
By the passing day
Reflecting on the passing of time
The innocence that fades away
Noting the loss of innocence over time
The inability to say
Expressing difficulty in verbal communication
What the consequences are
Acknowledging challenges in predicting consequences
Words were hard to say
Highlighting the difficulty of expressing oneself
So you stopped giving them away
Choosing to withhold words due to perceived futility
Nobody got them anyway
Suggesting a lack of understanding or appreciation for words
Nobody took the time of day
Noting a lack of attention or interest from others
You think that the pain is all your own
Believing that personal pain is unique and isolating
And you're just stuck here on your own
Feeling trapped in solitude
Well baby just come home
Encouraging someone to return home despite difficulties
We're waiting here for you
Expressing collective anticipation for the person's return
On the grass we watched the band
Recalling a shared experience of watching a band on grass
You stood in awe and raised your hand
Describing a moment of awe and admiration
We're just doing what we can
Emphasizing the collective effort to do what is possible
The world's so hard to understand
Expressing the difficulty in understanding the world
You tear your mind up trying to find the silver lining in the mess
Describing the mental struggle to find positivity in chaos
We make of everything
Acknowledging the collective role in creating meaning
But you never know
Emphasizing uncertainty in finding solutions
So just come home
Reiterating the invitation to return home despite uncertainties
